Not bad for all my GPL projects...remember I do support/coding on my free time, and do not earn
money for this, so please stay polite and be precise when requesting support from me. Thanks

I’ve decide to go away from phpBB3 as applying mod is a joke, it require you to patch/edit php file manually while in SMF, it is a plugin.

Migrate your forums from phpBB3 to SMF

Download the converter convert.php at http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=218449.0 and save it in the root folder of a new SMF installation.

Backup your SMF/phpBB3 databases and files just in case something bad happen.

The conversion tools is really powerful and support luckily a huge list of forums:

• AEF&160;&160; 1.0.x
• Burning Board&160;&160; 2.3.x, 3.0.x

Download the right convert SQL file from

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=140741.0

Software: phpBB
Version: phpBB3+

then run

php convert.php --path_to=/srv/www/vhosts/forums/httpdocs/smf --path_from=/srv/www/vhosts/forums/httpdocs/phpbb3 --convert_script=phpbb3_to_smf.sql --db_pass=xxxxxxxxxxxxx --debug

I decide to migrate to PHBB and went away from SMF!

Don’t understand it wrongly, SMF was great for me in the last 3 years: stable, easy to use and not much targeted by hackers ;-)

&160;

&160;

I leave SMF mainly as:

• There is no bridge available in Joomla! (bridge is discontinued and considered unsafe)
• I would like to unify login across all my sub domains in the near future. The idea is to let you log yourself only once in Joomla, and have access to forums, bug tracker, wiki and continuous build&160; and so on,
• Joomla! forums are also using PHPBB so scaling should not be an issue (they have currently Total posts 1578894 | Total topics 352041 | Total members 268363)&160; :-)

How to go from SMF to PHPBB

The converter plugin found at&160; SMF 1.1 to phpBB3 Convertor did work well for me and has not shown any problem till now.

So last but not least:

&160;

A patch has been released fixing a few bugs and addressing some security vulnerabilities.
We urge all forum administrators to upgrade to SMF 1.1.5&8212;simply visit the package
manager to install the patch.

Report me any issues so I may be able to take some actions. Thanks.

NOTE: I respond today to 40 posts, that just half all open messages...

I did update my forums to the latest version of simple machine.

Please, report me any error as soon as possible if any. Thanks.

Simple Machines Forum — SMF in short — is a free, professional grade software package that allows you to set up your own online community within minutes.

This module displays the last n topics/post from your SMF forum. It also display a link to go directly to the Topic/Post. Note that I am using the RSS feed of SMF not this module on my site.
